Hi I'm new to the forum and hoping some one can throw some light on a problem i have,I recently purchased a fusion 2 and apart from a rattle that seems to be coming from inside the dash on the passenger side when i am cornering particular a sharp corner or roundabout or setting off up a steep hill or hump back bridge i can hear what i can only describe as light metal sliding from side to side or backwards and forwards,My son described it best said it sounded like the ball bearing in a aerosol can but as there's nothing like that in the vehicle it can't be a aerosol.I still have a months warranty on but i wanted to have a bit of an idea of what it might be before i take it back to where i purchased it so the can't try to fob me off,Thanks for any Help.

This might sound stupid but make sure theres nothing in boot,glove box top storage unit on dash anywhere thant could cause these as for no aresol any de-icer in the car. not taking the piss just check these simple things first.
